Madeline Crawford and Jeremy Whitman novel Chapter 764

Chapter 764

She had wished countless times over the past many years that she would get to hug this man in such a way and to feel the warmth of a sincere hug from this man.

She had never expected this moment to come so late.

This was their first and perhaps their last as well.

“Jeremy,” she called out his name in an unusually calm manner.

The man averted his deep peach blossom eyes to meet her, the long alluring slits staring into her flawless appearance that was mere inches away from his. Her glossy eyes were mesmerizing.

“It’s okay, it’ll be alright soon. It’s just turbulence.” He comforted softly.

Then, he found his own behavior weird.

After all, in such a situation, should his priority not be to protect Felicity? Why did he find it so difficult to let go of the girl in his arms and let her face the danger herself?

Within him came a persistent voice reminding and telling him to protect Madeline, to ensure that nothing would happen to Madeline.

Madeline smiled. Looking at his face now, she found no more traces of the heavy hatred in his eyes.

“There’s something I need to tell you now, Jeremy, or I might never get the chance to tell you anymore.” She stared at his lips. Despite the weightlessness from the jostle of the plane, Madeline had never felt more fearless. She only had one goal in mind.

Jeremy looked at her. “What is it?”

She parted her lips mirthfully and said, “I don’t hate you anymore.”

‘I don’t hate you anymore.’

Jeremy was shocked. The words were incomplete without any context, yet his heart seemed to understand what she meant. Relief flooded the inside of his chest, threatening to burst out.

Jeremy tightened his hold on her, their cheeks almost touching. As the feeling of weightlessness grew, they leaned into each other to regain their sense of center.

The feeling lasted for another ten or more minutes before the plane slowly steadied itself. The cries and howls outside came to a stop as well.

“I think it’s over now.” Jeremy patted Madeline’s hair comfortingly.

Madeline slowly loosened her grip as well now that danger seemed to have passed, but Jeremy seemed reluctant to let her go.

Just then, the toilet door was flung open, revealing a pale-faced Felicity who stood before them. Her hair was a wild mess.

Staring at Jeremy hugging Madeline, shock filled Meredith’s eyes.

How… How did this happen?
